Decreasing quality of data service

Over the last couple of months, the data service in my area went from good to bad. I used to be able to stream TV shows on my iPad (LTE) but now I am barely able to send a text message. This has affected all of our phones (family of 5 plus 1 iPad). 

Data is important as there are no internet service providers in the area!

This is helpful information. Let's continue to gather details. There are not any network alerts in the area mentioned. How far do you have to travel away from the home before service improves? Also, please visit www.speedtest.net and share your download and upload speeds. Which Price Plan do you have?

I am out of town but I will check this weekend. I assume the nearest tower is atop Mormon Mountain? I will head that way.

We are also experiencing the same issues. We only have good internet for about 10 days and then at night from 5-10 pM you can't do anything. It's ridiculous.

I tested it and well, it varies.

Sometimes, while in the house, I am getting 20-30Mbps Down/1-3Mbps up, which is fine. But most of the day I cannot load the Speedtest web page or app because I get no data at all. If I go outside I can get data, but not in the house. It's very inconsistent.

Oddly enough, whether I am in or out, I get two bars "Verizon LTE" - but that does not reflect if and when I am getting data.

The data drop out seems to happen during the waking part of the day, I can always connect early in the morning or late at night. But that is not always the case.

Sorry I could not provide more constructive information. I am fine going outside when I need to now, but come winter it will be an issue!

Thanks for getting back to us emersunn. Any other Verizon devices having similar issues? Do you have Wi-Fi in your residence? Is it high speed?
